James A. Watkins is an entrepreneur, musician, and writer. A lifelong student of history, theology, and politics; he loves people, books, music, and motion pictures. An autodidact and a voracious reader who had read the entire Encyclopedia Britannica by the age of twelve, James always has been a convivial conversationalist and a gentlemanly generalist. Well-traveled, with an outlandish array of personal experiences, he made a living for decades as a singer, musician, and songwriter, playing thousands of public performances; then set records as a salesman in several fields; before owning and operating an aviation company for many years that specialized in private jet charters for the rich and famous. James set out to reinvent himself as a writer and published hundreds of internet magazine articles, which have been read by millions.
